This FIRST HAPPENED about a month after purchasing this vehicle. I got in to go to work and of course everything was normal. I pulled out of the driveway and went to turn left at the red light, when ALL OF A SUDDEN , A STREAM OF WATER HIT ME DIRECTLY IN THE FACE. I almost ran off the road. It just came with no warning. I look up and its not coming from the sunroof. It is coming out of the interior light directly above the radio and ac controls.

I looked it up online and found tons and tons of this problem. Apparently a design flaw, factory caused. The reason its a substantial issue, is the fact that it leaks directly over the electronic center of the vehicle. Apparently it also leaks inside the body of the vehicle into the front floorboards are constantly soaking wet. I'm not happy about it either, because this is the NEWEST AND MOST EXPENSIVE VEHICLE IVE EVER PURCHASED. I have always bought cheaper older model vehicles. Its being ruined by the water damage.
